Did not see a thread here or in tactics and I'm wondering what if anything changed for the Sons of Sanginius with their reemergence into 6th edition.

**Dinamarth**

There are no new rules for them.

**arinnoor**

Not that I think its above them to lie, but GW does say here that the book is updated for the current edition. Like Sisters i wan imagining this more in terms of changing points, adding in warlord traits, and maybe alter a rule or two.,

**ImotekhTheStormlord**

I'm pretty sure updated just means the addition of Hull Points, which tables psykers can roll on...etc

**arinnoor**

It might, but one can hope.

Did it not release already?

**troa**

You are misinterpreting. The only "updates" to it is putting the FAQ stuff into it.

**arinnoor**

*sigh*

Lets make this simple. Did the digital codex release? If yes would someone who has it answer on what if anything changed.

**Martel732**

Well, they did put in contradictory rules for Mephiston. And my play group is considering banning him until its resolved. So, it was a bit of a nerf for me personally.

**Eldarain**

What does it say now?

**Martel732**

In one place, it says he can switch out for THREE CRB powers, but another place they have cut and paste the text from the FAQ, which clearly states TWO CRB powers.

Personally, I think the Eldar players just want to rub it in more, because Mephiston might actually kill some of their stuff. But yeah, GW screwed me on this one.

**arinnoor**

Otherwise there is little to no change? Not even minor point corrections?

**Martel732**

None at all. Just hull points and crap like that.

**arinnoor**

Huh, that is very unfortunate. Guess that they really just hate Blood Angels, more so then Sisters it seems.

**Martel732**

I think it's just random. I doubt they "hate" any army.

**arinnoor**

I guess more accurate they didn't have anyone inspired to do BA. Its something I've noticed for some authors. Like the difference between CSM and Eldar for Kelly and why DE took so long to update..

"*sigh*"?

The simple thing to do would've been to refer to this thread on the 1st page of the News and Rumours forum;

Personally, I'm glad there are no significant changes. For one, they would invalidate the hard copy codex that I have. For two, I'd much rather a fully new 6th ed codex some time next year than have it delayed (or never released) for a half done, half thought, slightly readjusted 5th ed codex today... which i can only look at on my phone.

**Orblivion**

Its not a matter of GW not liking Blood Angels. The current BA codex is just over 3 years old, I would expect a 6th edition codex for them around 2015. Judging by the rumors for what codices are up next for this coming spring and next fall that sounds about right.

Don't all eldar players with the same brush

- unless you just meant the ones in your meta.

I'd let him have 3 powers regardless of where he gets them from.

Mephiston should be lethal.
